An update to the JFTR has changed the way to enter the departure and arrival locations within the itinerary of the Coast Guard Travel Preparation and Examination (TPAX) system and for the submission of paper claims to PPC. This change affects TDY and PCS, CONUS and non-foreign OCONUS areas. All destinations/arrivals must include the five digit zip code.
When completing the itinerary in TPAX for CONUS or non-foreign OCONUS travel, enter the two letter state abbreviation, tab to the city field and enter the five digit zip code and hit accept. A future update to TPAX will add the words zip code to the city field. (Most cities will remain in TPAX but should not be used except within foreign locations or to/from foreign locations.) When submitting a paper claim (1351-2 dtd Mar 2008) for CONUS or non-foreign OCONUS travel, type or write in all the required information along with the five digit zip code within the itinerary (block 15).
